“San Francisco B.C.” by the Silver Jews
David Berman is a great storyteller and lyricist, and this track from the Silver Jews’ sixth album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea (CD, mp3, vinyl) is a fine example of it. I was looking around to find a live version of it, and I was able to find just one. It is incomplete (the first couple verses are missing) but is very good quality (for a concert recording). You can view it here on Vimeo.
